Cougar Town‘s Season 3 premiere, which after sitting on the shelf for so long was met with grape expectation by its fans, wound up drawing 4.8 million total viewers on Tuesday night, while scoring a 1.8 demo rating with the coveted 18-49 crowd.

That marks a drop of 4 and 10 percent from the comedy’s hour-long Season 2 finale, which of course aired on a Wednesday, leading out of Modern Family. The demo number also is, sadly, a series low.

Plus, overall TV usage was down 7 percent because of the holiday some of y’all got to celebrate.

Another case in point: Glee didn’t feel much Valentine’s Day love, dropping 15 percent in the demo to a season-low 2.8. Lead-out New Girl was also down, 9 percent, to an all-time low 3.2. Raising Hope, however, held steady with a 2.1.

NCIS, with 19.4 million total viewers and a 3.9 rating, dipped 7 percent week-to-week yet led the night on both counts, while the baddest news was received by The CW’s Ringer, which drew barely a million total viewers (down 10 percent) and plunged 40 percent in the demo (to a 0.3).
